Sonha Station

Sonha Station is a railway station located in Kaesong, North Korea. It is located on the Pyongbu Line, which was formed from part of the Kyongui Line to accommodate the shift of the capital from Seoul to Pyongyang. Though this line theoretically connects Pyongyang to Busan in South Korea, in reality it ends at Kaesong Station due to the Korean Demilitarized Zone.

Cherung Royal Tomb

The Cherŭng Royal Tomb is a 15th-century mausoleum located in Chi-dong, Kaepung-gun near Kaesong, North Korea. The site contains the body of Queen Sinui, first wife of Joseon dynasty founder Yi Songgye. Construction on the tombs began after her death in 1392; as she died before her husband overthrew the Goryeo dynasty to become king, she was buried at the Goryeo-era capital of Kaesong. After Yi took the throne, restyling himself as King Taejo, she was posthumously awarded the title of "queen".

Located at 37.8961, 126.557 (Lat. / Lng.), about 2 miles away.
